Background of CM Vijay Delhi Visit
After TVK emerged as the single-largest party with 108 seats in the April 23 Assembly polls, Vijay formed the government with support from Congress, VCK, IUML, and Left parties. This coalition government has brought a new political equation in Tamil Nadu after decades of Dravidian party dominance.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had congratulated Vijay on the day he took oath, stating that the Central Government would work closely with the state to improve people’s lives. The CM Vijay Delhi Visit is seen as the first formal step towards building that working relationship.
Portfolio Allocation in Tamil Nadu Cabinet
The Tamil Nadu government recently announced portfolio allocations. Chief Minister Vijay retained several important departments including Home, Police, Municipal Administration, Urban Development, Water Supply, Women Welfare, and Special Programme Implementation.
